Trade those picks?

Assuming we get DE and CB/FS help in free agency, and given our less-than-stellar history of first round draft choices, who thinks we should just trade out of round one and stockpile 2nd and 3rd round picks in order to infuse some youthful talent onto our roster?

I would hope we use the 11th pick to select a player, if Dallas wants to trade a pick then do it with the 20th pick.

Having 2 picks in the first round scares me with this crew at the helm. I hate having this feeling of inpending doom in my gut thinking how they are going to screw this up. I am praying that we pick up some stud free agents to offset a possible disgusting draft.They just scare me

IMO we don't get a DE and CB in free agency. They are two of the highest dollar spots you can acquire in free agency. Plus the draft is fairly deep at both of those positions.

I think it is much more likely we get a FS, DT & OG in free agency and address CB, DE and LB in the draft.

It COMPLETELY rests on the fact as to what - if anything - is offered for our picks. I've said it before - you can't just trade down or up for the sake of doing it - it all depends on the deal.

I'm totally open to whatever best deal comes along - if none - stay put.

yeah I see what you mean, Terrance Newman, Roy Williams and Greg Ellis were just horrible draft picks...why didnt we just trade out of the 1st rd so we could draft better guys like Dwayne Goodrich, Solomon Page, Sherman Williams and Shane Hannah...

I think Dallas should stay put with those 2 picks and get the best available CB & DE. Not sure why everyone is thinking WR is such a need position for us. If we draft Edwards or Williams will either of those 2 beat out Glenn or Keyshawn? I seriously doubt it. So why go after a guy who is going to play in limited packages when we could have a guy who is out there for every defensive snap?

Now if Dallas feels they can get the DE & CB they really want lower than they are set to draft then I see no problem with trading down and picking up a few extra picks. I just don't want to see the Cowboys move down and miss out of the guy they really want. Remember in last year's draft they really wanted Kevin Jones and BP even tried to move back up into the 1st round to get him before Detroit ended up taking him. Not to say that JJ won't be a great back, but he wasn't BP's first choice.

WR is needed for a variety of reason:
1. Glenn hasn't really shown a propensity for staying healthy.
2. Glenn and Johnson aren't spring chickens.
3. WR is a position that typically take a year or two to develop.
4. The offense lacks playmakers.

Granted, you can make a great case for why the defense could use both picks. I guess that is why Dallas is drafting 11. They have holes.

I am inclined to think that Dallas deals back with at least one pick, more than likely 20. I would not be at all surprised to see another deal like last draft where they pick up a first rounder for next year.

Give yourself as many options as possible in FA and try to draft the BPA irregardless of position in the draft.
